What Guests Are Saying
Sandy Beach Campground is a well-maintained, clean, and quiet facility with spacious campsites, friendly staff, and immaculate bathrooms. Many visitors appreciate the beautiful views and the peaceful atmosphere, especially during weekdays. However, some noted the lack of a sandy beach for swimming and occasional noise from nearby live music on weekends, along with minor maintenance issues that could be addressed. Overall, guests recommend the campground for its value and pleasant experience.

..camping pad was SMALL and on a hill. No room for yard games or running
..playground was overrun with rude 9-14 year olds making it hard for little ones to play
..host was not friendly upon check-in and gave little direction to guests
..Playground was SMALL for the number of campers
..no path access to beach
...no bike trails at the campround or leading up to the campground
Overall the campground is nice but compared to other campgrounds in the area, the amenities were limited and the host was a little standoffish.

Had a great experience here. The campground was clean, quiet, well cared for. We had a nice shady spot (site 1) and could see the lake easily. Would come back again.

Grass needed to be mowed. Spacing was decent and offset, which is nice. Site was mostly level. Dump station was easy to access on leaving.

It needs new individual showers. Only one adult can go in behind the big door. I'm sure it is great with an adult and child. But adults want more privacy. The showers at Aquibi State Park in Indianola are wonderful. There was one shower that was leaking water the whole time we were there. I tried to shut if off. Someone must have noticed it. The park was clean. It is nice to always have a host around.

Our first time camping there. It is a very nice camp ground. Clean and well maintained. Camping fees were very reasonable.
